This frame is supposedly manufactured some time between 1917 and 1922. Hard to say for sure. But I added a pair of true 28" steel clinchers from a mangled 22 Crusader. Luckily , 27x1-1/4 tires fit. The original 28" tires for these would have the same ID, but slightly larger OD. The grips were carved by someone long ago and leather wrapped, and they carved facets in the ends. You can still see remnants of green paint on one "jewel", and red on the other. New Departure Model A works great. A nice early rider, ready to hit the streets. OG gray and red paint shows well, and it gets a ton of attention at bike and car shows. $350 Local pickup only in Mount Airy, NC 27030
